    Last week was only the preamble.

    I've heard threats to storm all 50 state capitols. I expect the actual number of state capitols with any significant "storming" action to be less than 10, and the most significant "storms" to involve less than 5000 hooligans. I also expect that the state capitols will defend themselves much more vigorously than the D.C. police did for the first 3 hours. Two or three "machine gun nests" firing rubber bullets would have completely repelled the hooligans in D.C. and I'm sure every governor in the nation has better than that at their disposal from the National Guard.

    If, by preamble, you mean we're going to hear butt-hurt conspiracy theory whining from ~50 million Americans for the next 2-3 years, yeah - I'm afraid that's a very real possibility.
